A heavy, block-driven sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and many curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters that read like superellipses rather than true circles. Terminals tend to be flat and blunt, giving letters a compact, engineered silhouette, while counters stay relatively small and tightly controlled. The overall rhythm is sturdy and geometric, with uppercase forms that feel tall and stacked and lowercase that remains similarly built from squared curves.
Best suited for display applications where impact and clarity matter: headlines, posters, event graphics, and bold brand lockups. The squared-rounded construction also fits industrial or technical themes, making it effective for signage, labels, and packaging that needs a strong, durable presence. It can work for short UI labels or badges when a robust, attention-forward tone is desired.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, combining a sporty headline punch with a slightly retro, arcade-and-industrial flavor. Its rounded corners keep the mass approachable, but the dense, squared shaping maintains a disciplined, technical feel. The result is attention-grabbing and confident, suited to messaging that wants to feel strong and purposeful.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize visual strength while keeping a friendly geometric coherence through rounded corners and superellipse-like bowls. The consistent stroke weight and compact counters suggest an emphasis on logo-like legibility and a distinctive, engineered texture that holds together at large sizes.
The design leans on rectangular bowls and inset counters (notably in enclosed shapes), creating a distinctive stencil-like interior geometry without actual breaks. Numerals and capitals share the same compact, squared curvature, supporting a consistent, sign-like texture at large sizes. In longer lines, the dense shapes produce a dark typographic color that favors display settings over extended reading.
